At Level 3, the lock screen matters because it protects the device when the phone is no longer in your hand.

Good front-door habits include:

  • using a real passcode or stronger unlock method
  • not leaving sensitive previews visible if that worries you
  • locking the phone when not in use

Founder note: Corey built Lumoset because a lot of digital safety becomes physical the moment a phone is lost, borrowed, or stolen.

What to do:

  • use a real lock method
  • understand what can be seen from the lock screen
  • treat the lock screen like a house key, not a nuisance
